Sept. 25, 2024 -- Wait...Armadillos are Fast?

Salem, MO 

September 19 - 25, 2024 

The animals here love us. It's probably good we can't have pets because we have been offered many and there are so many little strays around. We have been followed by the cutest little puppies and kittens. AND I SAW A LIVE ARMADILLO. Tried to get a picture but man can they run.😂

Highlights!
•     We had lots of friends at church on Sunday!! Lisa came with two of her kids and we also had our new friend Marlena come! We haven't taught her, only knocked into her. But she fit in so well and just LOVED it. 
•     We drove 5 hours yesterday to get to and from Zone Conference, and it was so good! My favorite thing they talked about was helping our friends get from white to white. (Baptism to the temple) I love that God's got so much planned for us. Baptism is the most wonderful experience, but only the first step. Just you wait - it only gets better from here!!

Something I just love about being a missionary is the amount of conversion and miracle stories we get to hear on the daily. From tear filled stories where Jesus Christ spoke to them, to little rays of sunshine, to life changing miracles and healing. All these people who have just been waiting for someone to share it with. Hearing these experiences is a good reminder of how involved he is in my own life❤️

When I first got here my mom sent me these verses that I absolutely loved. And what made it even cooler was pulling up the chapter and seeing where it was written - a place called Salem. God is just so aware of us!

I, the Lord your God, am not displeased with your coming this journey, notwithstanding your follies. 

I have much treasure in this city for you, for the benefit of Zion, and many people in this city, whom I will gather out in due time for the benefit of Zion, through your instrumentality.
D&C 111:1-2

Love and Mizpah!!

Centerton, AR May 16 - 22, 2024 Ian got baptized this week!!😆 It was such a special day for him, and he had great support from the Deacons and the ward. I am SO excited for him and his family🩷 Highlights! •     Got to back to my last area, Har-Ber, for zone Conference and saw our sweet member Jeanne! •     Got to talk to the sweetest single dad, Alex, out smoking meat with a pretty crazy contraption. He got emotional at the end, and told us to come back in 6 months after his surgery so he could sit down and talk with us more:) •     Nothing brightens my day more than hanging out with kids at member dinners! It's not every day that you learn about the "Wing Claw Bird", and are waved goodbye by a dancing princess. Quote for you: "I'm glad I'm not a bovine" - Bishop Hoyt We got to help Wyatt, and a few other recent converts learn about their family history and prepare family names to take to the temple. Shout out to Sister Morton, it is s...

Mar. 13, 2024 -- Golden Hour🙌

Image
Centerton, AR  March 7th - 13th This week Wyatt was baptized!! What an incredible day. He bore his testimony at the end and shared his story. The spirit was so strong, and it is clear that God has great plans for him. The next day he received the greatest gift for his birthday, the Gift of the Holy Ghost😊 It was so cool to see the proud faces of the brothers Wyatt has met as they watched him make this step. They loved him as soon as they met him, and so many were quick to invite him to dinners and gatherings. It is never to late to be a missionary. Highlights! •     Got to be involved with a service organization called Sleep in Heavenly Peace, where they make beds for kids who don't have them. The turnout was huge, and it was so cool seeing everyone work together for such a good cause! •     As a missionary I've grown a greater appreciation for 1. daylight savings time, and 2. pull through parking •     Immediately after Wyatt was confi...

Feb. 28, 2024 -- Where's Gary

Centerton, AR  Feb 22 -28, 2024 While I may not have any crazy stories to share, this week - and every week - is full of tiny little miracles. Some people might call them coincidences, but I know they are miracles:) Tiny miracles/Highlights! •     After our visit, our friend Prakash drove to a neighbors and we sat in the car outside of his house for a good while planning where to go next. Suddenly Sister Thayn notes we should probably go before he gets back, and no joke as soon as I start driving his headlights turn the corner😂 The timing was crazy. •     Couldn't find my wallet, until the next morning when someone had left it untouched on our windshield. •     One of our friends is turning his life to God. He had a court case after someone attacked him and texted us right after saying that God told him to forgive his oppressor, and he did. •     Wyatt! We talked about the Word of Wisdom and he is just so humble. He had c...
